Getting back to what sparked my interest originally in swords. Recent Highlander additions:
Highlander H1 Katana By Sal D'Aquila Of Point Gallery
Custom piece made by Sal of point gallery in like new condition, the handle is a H1 authentic replica, full tang, very sharp and battle ready, the blade is like new, has never been cut or trained with. I ran the pictures by Point Gallery and they identified this as Ronin through hardened blade (1065) with etched hamon in Shobu Zukuri style. PG also said it is a rare piece. Pretty sure this is the blade used on this one: sbg-sword-forum.forums.net/thread/10215/ronin-katanas-okinawa-katana-review

Second one I picked up:
Custom Built Highlander Katana Sword By Chris Osborn
This sword was custom built and polished by expert sword maker Chris Osborn. He built it as a free time project and it is now several years old. It is a one of a kind piece. It is a fully functional hand forged katana fitted with an H3 Conner handle. This is a fully functional highlander sword as the handle and guard are removable for cleaning and maintenance.
The tsuka is a Jose De Braga one. Not heavy duty like the Point Gallery ones and feels more like plastic or a thinner resin. No seams though and one piece. Blade is nice. Only problem with the sword is the tang is slightly smaller than the interior of the tsuka towards the dragon head. Was able to fix using a couple of very thin shims. No more movement. It handles like my new edition Hanwei Shinto.

Thanks! Just moved back to the States from Germany where I had a room 3-times the size of this one.
That is why I am trying to sell about 1/2 of it off. That room is too cramped right now.....
